A pregnant student aboard Modern Coast bus travelling from Busia to Mombasa went into labour and successfully delivered a bouncing baby boy on the bus with the help of passengers.

First time mother Elizabeth Nekesa gave birth to her son on Saturday aboard Modern Coast bus travelling to Mombasa. The 19 year old student at Coast Institute of Technology in Mombasa was travelling back to college when she started experience pain when the bus left Nairobi.

The pain intensified and she finally gave birth to her son on the bus with the help of fellow passengers. The baby, who was named ‘Modern Coast’, was later admitted at Makindu District Hospital.

Sylvia Buluma, one of the passengers who was travelling on Modern Coast bus when Elizabeth delivered, narrated the whole encounter on social media. Below is her narration;

“At first it was like a movie no one expected her to go into labour but yes she was one strong young woman who really did her best to push the baby. And the son is a champ he didn’t let the mother down and all of us at the bus. When I heard his cry God knows the excitement that got me. Big up to the lady who really did assist her to deliver God bless you. Big up to her younger sister who as well didnt let go of her side and yes she will some day be a good nurse she did great. And for the driver too atleast I had your name as the conductor said he should be called Martin. Mr Martin thank you for taking her to makindu hospital. All the passangers including me of course we didn’t mind getting late but to ensure both the mother and the son are well taken care of. Yes the kid needs a free ride for the rest of life that’s how it goes right. Modern is all my choice of bus and it has never done me wrong. God bless you baby Modern.”
